I have tthat mobo and I had the same problem; the system would take over 2 minutes to boot up, and even installing windows 7 (which should take little) took over an hour. I solved the problem by enabling PCI IDE BusMaster in the bios setup. I also enabled prefetch buffer but I'm not sure that helped at all.

Hope this helps
